J. Frith, Chief of the Division of Wildlife Research at CSIRO, the book draws on years of rigorous field research to chronicle the behaviour, ecology, breeding biology, and distribution of Australia's diverse waterfowl species. Frith presents detailed species accounts alongside broader discussions of wetland habitats, migration patterns, and the conservation challenges facing Australia's waterbirds. The work stands as an essential scientific reference for ornithologists, wildlife managers, naturalists, and anyone with a serious interest in Australia's unique avifauna.
